Opinion

February 6, 2003.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie Wittner, J.), rendered April 2, 2001, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of attempted murder in the second degree, and sentencing her to a term of 8 years with 5 years post-release supervision, unanimously affirmed.
Holly Agajanian, for respondent.
Eve Kessler, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Tom, J.P., Saxe, Ellerin, Lerner, Marlow, JJ.
Given the gravity of the crime in which defendant orchestrated a plot to ambush and murder the victim, who sustained serious injuries upon being attacked and stabbed multiple times, the court properly exercised its discretion in denying youthful offender treatment (see CPL 720.20[a]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
